SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy - SCUSD

Summary:

SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy - SCUSD is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Sacramento, California, with 709 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 15-20% of California high schools based on its academic performance, with significantly below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

SAVA faces significant challenges, including a high dropout rate of 24.6%, a low four-year graduation rate of only 42.9%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0% - all of which are much worse than the nearby schools and the state averages. The school serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 88.01% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Compared to nearby schools like Sacramento Charter High, Umoja International Academy, and West Campus, which serve similar student populations but demonstrate much stronger academic outcomes and student success, SAVA's performance is particularly concerning.

The school's persistent low performance and lack of improvement over time suggest a need for a comprehensive intervention and support strategy to address the root causes of its challenges and improve outcomes for its students. Despite being located in the same general area as several higher-performing schools, SAVA has not been able to leverage its proximity or learn from the successes of its neighbors, indicating a need for a more effective approach to addressing the school's issues.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
